Develop Turkey http://www.developturkey.org (DT) is a development monitoring organization. Started in 2006, DT aims to build an international community of social investors, and bridge them with Turkish non-governmental organizations NGOs with the ultimate goal of promoting social development in Turkey
. DT recognizes the ills associated with the fledgling transparent social sector in Turkey. Aside from the lack of certain institutions and attitudes, bureaucratic lag and political corruption deters many donors from trusting the reliability and effectiveness of the Turkish social sector. Moreover, majority of the 150000 active NGOs in Turkey suffer from the scarcity of financial capacity and efficient communication networks. Discontinuities in the flow of information between donors and recipient organizations, as well as the underdeveloped research capabilities of the organizations themselves impede the process of efficient social development. In light of the status quo, DT’s qualified team has two goals: matching donor individuals and corporations abroad with relevant NGOs functioning in Turkey, and contributing to human development in Turkey in the long run. Towards the realization of this ideal, DT forms a membership from a vast array of Turkish non-profits, opens chapters in other Ivy League
universities in the US, and directs Turkey related individuals and corporations to the NGOs upon their need-based applications.
